i shall wait
your permission
save for these wishes
this eager beginning
tell me
somewhere
you loved me another
some other
this way

take of my restlessness
make for me
something
pour me a life
from your will
should ever i fade
let heaven
remember
another beginning
a place
we are still

hold me to circumstance
breathe of my sighs
clear every ache
from these lips
gather me home
a promise surrendered
the last time
you knew me –
was another
like this

the start of something old ~

i will remember this
when i am lost –
as the start of something old
a breath once cleft
returning to my skin
i shall recall
this morning after
each tender smile
across the page –
a moment stretched
eternity fell in
i will remember
when there is nothing
save the echo of your name
a piece of land
a place i lay you down
i will walk this earth
until my final sigh
becomes the wind
i will remember this
as the moment
i was found

of places
i have fallen
none so deep as this
trading every stone
to understand
the measure of a moment
held within your eyes
to see you
how you see me
just as this
falling ever forward
loosened by the grave
mentions i no longer
have a say
for where we are
love is come
with more than i have words
death becoming less
with each
i know

mine to save ~

were only this
my reason
for every breath forgave
squandered in my dying
yesterdays
a whisper sometimes
floating
from the fall
i knew you when
you waded in the water
mine to save
were only us
and nothing less
and no one left to choose
fingers wrapped
with fingers
jealous hands
a serenade as evening
burned red
against the pines
a shadow
of a shadow
there you were
left for me
the solace of your
light

re-reminders ~

thought i once
the path was gone
every fence torn down
could barely see
the meadow
for the trees
nights i took for granted
stars that used
to shine
shooting re-reminders
of a wish
i made
one time
another life
we fit together
gave of breath to know
the ways that we would come
with moments yet
to hold
years to grant
gathered as a promise
once we made
would find us here
remembering
the wish we left
to fate

stars to lean upon ~

from this
another waits
the story to begin
carried up in shadows
velvet blue
candlelight
and evergreen
somewhere i hear singing
a fluttering
of breast
beneath the truth
a branch
no one could reason
stars to lean upon
i knew you once
did you ever
know my name
who will be remembered
when nothing left
is sure –
when everything so different
feels the same

as the last
constellation
brushed into light
planets not yet given
to name
as weeds tangled over
the barbs of our past
I want you
to love me
that way

as a three quarter moon
oceans obey
souls coming back
for a kiss
as the memory of sparrows
sailing to home –
I need you
to love me
like this

like a wild
tameless river
split through the pines –
canyons carved
to the sea
pebbles and seashells
left to our wake
with reckless abandon –
love me

. . .
